Washington, Aug. 23. The president
remains firm in bis purpose to let the
tariff bill become a law without bis sig
nature, aitnougn many congressman
have represented very strongly that
should it not have tho presidential ap
proval their position on the stomp will
be embarrassed. Speaker Crisp pre
sented this view. The bill cannnot be
come a law without tbe presidential
autograph until next Monday, and an
adjournment of congress will hardly
take place before next Tuesday.
la tha Senate.
Washington, Aug. 23. At 12:30 it
was apparent that no quorum could be
secured in tbe annate. Upon motion of
Mr. Harris, the serjeant-at-arms was
directed to compel tbe attendance of tbe
absent senators, this it ia said will not
amount to anything, as the sergeant-at
arms has always and now refuses to ar
rest senators and bring them before the
bar of the senate unless given a warrant
for their arrest. The senate has like
wise always refused to issue warrants.
As a matter of fact, a quorum could be
obtained if all the democrats would vote,
as there are a number about the build
ing who bave to far declined to enter the
chamber. At 1 :18 the senate, pending
the execution of the order to compel
member to attend, adjourned till to
morrow. This was owing to the fact that it was
demonstrated to be impossible to get a
quorum today. Senators Morgan and
Camden and other telegraphed that
they would be here tonight. The re
publican are willing tbe democrats
should go into executive session and pass,
as in legislative session, such important
and private bills as the senator might
desire, and signify their willingness to
turnish vote to make up the necessary
quorum to do this a soon as the demo
crat found 39. The roll stopped short,
however, at 30, and the democrat could
not increase it by the arrival of a single
senator.
In tha House.
Washington, Aug. 23. About 50
members were on the ll xjr when the
house met today. There was, as usual,
a great rush for recognition to pass local
bills. With the report on the armor
plate frauds, Mr. Cummings presented
a joint resolution to au.borixe and direct
the secretary of the navy to remove
from the Monadnock, Terror, Oregon,
Indiana, Massachusetts and Monterey
the specified armor plates and subject
them to a ballistic test at the Indian
Head proving grounds. The resolution
directed a speedy report on these tests.
The Armor-riale Investigation.
Washington, Aug. 23. The special
committee of the house investigation the
charge affecting the reliability of
material of the new ships furnished by
the Carnegie company, of Pittsburg, laid
their report before the house today.
The report shows that the contract with
tho company covered a period of two
yeiirs and three months from November,
1890, to February, IS93. The amount of
armor-plate contracted for was 8978 tons,
costing $5,451,920. In the opening re
port, Mr. Cummings, chairman of the
committee, gives the 10 charges made
gainst the company, and follows it
with the admission made under each
charge. Mr. Shwab admits under the
first charge that the plate did not re
ceive uniform treatment, explaining
that by saying that uniform result
alone were required. The committee
construe the specification to mean
uniform quality before treatment and
practically uniform result will neces
sarily follow. If uuiforin results alone
were meant, there would bave been no
necessity for requirements a to the
process.

The Strike Investigation.
Chicago, Aug. 23. General Manager
St. John, of the Rock Island road, was
before the strike commissioners today.
He read tbe history of tbe strike as it
affected his road. He was aeked if big
company blacklisted men. "Not in tbe
sense tbe word is generally understood,"
said tbe witness; "when a man is dis
charged from one division wo send a
statement to our other divisions that he
may not be re-employed, but no such
statement is sent to other roads unless
requested,"
"Can you show us a copy of your con
tract with the Pullman company?"
asked Commissioner Kernau. "I can
show you the contract, if you will regard
it as private. I do not wish to see it
published."
St. John was asked if the contract
compelled the company to haul Pull
man on all passenger trains.
"No," was the answer, "we can haul
Pullmans on any trains we choose, and
need not haul them unless we wish."
"Then you were not compelled to
haul Pullmans during the strike?"
"No."
St' John was asked as to the number
of strikers wbo had been taken back.
"Most of our men," be said, "quit
woik through fear; but of 522 actual
strikers onlv 74 have been taken buck.
When the union has fifty per cent or
more of our men," he said, "we as a
general thing treat with its representa
tives. We had no dealings with the
American Railway Union, us it hud left
than 500 of our employes."
"Did your road cut wages iattt spring
or this summer?" asked Couimitoioner
Wright.
"No, sir; we cut our force, but not
wages."
"How much did the strike cost the
Rock Island road?" Kernun asked.
"I cannot give the exact figures, but I
should say between $800,000 and $1,000,
000. St. John emphatically denied that
United States marshalH were controlled
by the railroads. Witness said that
many rioters who overturned and burned
the cars were striker.
